Internet SafetyWhat you need to know…
Never assume a stranger online is someone you can trust
Unless you know the person in a real-world
situation, if they offer something “too good
to be true” or they want something specific
from you, there is a good chance they are
looking to take advantage – even if they
know some of your personal details.
Never provide any of sensitive personal information online
Unless you know the website is
trustworthy, like the Inland
Revenue or Work and Income.
Nobody should ever ask you for
your username or password – ever!
Not even your bank.
Common scams to watch out for
Validating banking information Tech support calls
Westpac banking text scam
A text claiming to be from
Westpac which sends you
to a very convincing but
very fake website, will
attempt to steal your
banking details.
If in doubt or you have a niggling
feeling about a situation or
someone, then STOP!
Hang up, disconnect, walk away…
Talk to someone, a friend, family
member or someone you trust.
Trust your instincts…
